Should DeFi be Self-Regulated?
summary
Panel claims DeFi exploded from about 1,000 to 17,000 tokens in a year and shows a live experiment: a token backed by silver and gold that must choose jurisdictions and licenses to survive. Discussion names concrete enforcement levers — fiat on‑ramps as regulation points and tax/KYC reporting — and predicts protocols splitting into institutional “pro” forks with KYC versus fully decentralized versions where enforcement is effectively impossible.
